It’s Monday 18th August 2025 and in today show we just about catch our breath to recall Saturdays humdinger of a roses clash at a cauldroness Bloomfield Road as ten man Blackpool overcame Huddersfield to record our first win and points of the campaign which gets our season finally up and running with a bang. 

Starting XI

First Half 

• Early goal, BDF at fault?  Was it deflected?
• Ennis equaliser, scuffed finish? Shocking defending and nice little wave from Ennis to Hudds fans
• Superb one touch interplay between four players, smart layoff from Fletcher and Evans piledriver to finish it, was he unburdened by the captaincy? 
• Ennis second, delightful finish smart prod assist from Honeyman.  Did anyone expect to be three one after 5 minutes?
• Gooch second goal for Hudds, foul in build up? Schoolboy error from ihekweo not playing to the whistle and closing down the cross. Pitiful defending from CJ allowing the ball through to Gooch who slammed home. Brett blaming BPF on Radio which I thought was harsh
• Ennis sending off - thoughts? Elliot Bell-End couldn’t wait to get his red out. Hudds number five aggressively shoving Ennis on his way off the pitch, no card and sent Fletch crazy!
• Morgan on for Fletcher 41.  Blox up top on own in a 441.  Reasonably comfortable till HT and a good sub and formation switch

Second Half

• Game managed well up to 60 mins
• Honeyman “running” to take corner
• We had one shot in second half were Coulson  volleyed wide
• Ashworth for Blox 60 mins.  Seemed to be a 450!  With CJ just running channels who did a good of it IMO.  Bruces tactical thoughts at this stage?
• Atmosphere hurting my ears and got a warning on watch
• Fairly
• Castledine shot at death, thought it was in.
• Fantastic getting the ball into the corner at the death with Morgan doing briliantly
